The most commonly used (and easily hacked) passwords based on large data breaches and security reports from 2025–2026:


Top 15 most common weak passwords

These show up millions of times in leaked databases:

  • 123456
  • 12345678
  • 123456789
  • admin
  • 1234
  • 12345
  • password
  • love
  • love123
  • makelove
  • makemoney
  • 888love
  • 123
  • 1234567890
  • Aa123456 (Cybernews)

Other extremely common (and dangerous) ones

Hackers also frequently find:

  • qwerty
  • 111111
  • 123123
  • 000000
  • iloveyou
  • admin123
  • Pass@123 / P@ssw0rd
  • abcd1234
  • qwerty123 (Random Password App)

Patterns hackers exploit

It’s not just specific passwords β€” it’s patterns:

  • Simple number sequences ? 123456, 12345
  • Keyboard patterns ? qwerty, 1q2w3e
  • Default logins ? admin, admin123
  • Common words/phrases ? password, iloveyou
  • Repeats ? 111111, 000000

About 38% of common passwords include β€œ123”, making them trivial to guess with automated tools (Digital Trends).


Why these get hacked so easily

Hackers don’t guess manually β€” they use tools that try millions of combinations per second:

  • Brute-force attacks ? try every combination
  • Dictionary attacks ? try known common passwords
  • Credential stuffing ? reuse leaked passwords from other sites

That’s why passwords like 123456 can be cracked in seconds.


Quick tip (important)

If your password looks anything like the ones above, change it immediately.

A strong password should be:

  • Long (12–16+ characters)
  • Random (not predictable patterns)
  • Unique for every account

Example idea:

  • BlueTiger!92$LakeCoffee
